My mom is a 72 yo married woman w disabilities. For the last 5 months she’s been messaging Kevin Costner. At this point there are like 70 different Kevin Costner profiles that are sending her messages on FB and she thinks they’re all him. They asked her to switch to different apps to talk so she downloaded Telegram and WhatsApp. He sends voice texts and makes phone calls.
I see her texting on her phone constantly now and I know it’s with this man. He apparently sent her a “diamond necklace” which I found online and it’s $75. Photo attached. He’s talked about buying her an engagement ring.
I have read her articles about this exact scam and she believes me for like a few hours and then she gets right back to it. She doesn’t send him money (that I know of) but she did admit that he has been asking for gift cards.
She let me and my sister block a bunch of accounts on two different occasion on her Facebook but they always just multiply again. There are hundreds of messages on there and it’s very difficult to find all the profiles and block them. It’s especially difficult because they always know how to find her again.
I’m aware that apart of this is mental health related. It’s extremely worrisome and I just don’t know what to do. At first it was funny and it quickly became extremely bleak and sad and I’m concerned for her.
Not kidding you she is making me watch a doc narrated by Kevin Costner with her right now.
I feel like I’m in a fever dream. What should I do?
